Perhaps best known for its ancient architecture, Rome celebrates the world of horror and science fiction cinema at the Fantafestival from June 9-19. Visitors taking a car hire in Italy can watch the latest fright flicks and classic sci-fi movies at the event, and this year's gathering promises to be the biggest and best yet.

Now in its 30th year, Fantafestival attracts fans of horror and science fiction movies from all over Europe. The programme boasts classic and contemporary films, including "The Abominable Dr. Phibes," "The Song of the Night," "Case 39," "The Fantastic Voyages of Sinbad," and many more.

In addition to its superb lineup of movies, the festival will feature a number of panel discussions on the European film industry. One talk that promises to attract the crowd is "100 Years of Fantomas," an examination of the cultural significance of Marcel Allain and Pierre Souvestre's classic crime-fighting masked avenger.

A truly unique event, Fantafestival is not to be missed by fans of classic horror and science fiction cinema. The event will be held at venues across the city, making a car hire in Rome an ideal way for movie buffs to reach the screenings and discussions.
